Section 2: Teachers’ Mindsets & School Environment
Participants complete Teaching Lab’s Educator Survey twice a year: at the beginning and end of their participation in PL. The survey collects data on teachers’ mindsets, perception and use of curricula, and perceptions of school culture and climate.
Section 2a: Teacher - Mindsets
Teachers responded to several items about mindsets, related to recognizing race and culture, the need for remediation, high expectations for all students, and growth mindsets on a 5-point Likert scale. Composite measures were created for each construct by reverse coding some items and then averaging responses across items. In this way, higher scores correspond to holding equitable mindsets.
The following are average scores by item calculated by the weighted quintile multiplied by a ratio on the scale of 0-1. Higher scores are better
See here for an example.
